Notre Dame began the season unranked in the Associated Press media poll and is now No. 1; USC started No.1 and is now unranked.
Oops, sorry, and welcome to my jungle.
Super Bowl and still be right when the team is 7-7 in December. In the college ranks, Louisiana State in 2007 became only the second champion since 1869 to finish a season with two losses.
Louisiana State Coach Les Miles is quick to remind everyone that both of the Tigers' 2007 defeats were in overtime, prompting his quip, "We're undefeated in regulation."
Yeah, and so is Oregon this season.
You think handicapping this is easy?
Consider: College's national champion, in 142 years, has averaged 0.2 defeats per season.
Picking winners and losers in this sport is tougher because the playing field is so absurdly uneven you have to compare apples to Orange Bowls. The thin space separating victory and abject failure is roughly Kansas Coach Charlie Weis' vertical leap.
Notre Dame is in this season's national title game because it won five games by seven points or fewer and survived two overtime games and a couple of questionable calls. At 12-0, though, no team deserves it more to be playing for the Bowl Championship Series title.
Only in this sport can Notre Dame be five ball bounces from the 7-5 record some people say should get USC Coach Lane Kiffin fired.
Georgia is 11-1 and one victory against Alabama from playing for the national title. The Bulldogs have played a schedule Southeastern Conference fans would have laughed at if it had been played by Boise State.
Some of this is Georgia's fault, some of it is not. It was not the school's decision to be playing Alabama this weekend for the first time since 2008 — it was a quirk of the SEC's scattershot draw. Georgia was actually supposed to play Alabama this regular season but got to sub out the Crimson Tide for Missouri after the Tigers and Texas A&M joined the SEC. Georgia is also not to blame for the incredibly unbalanced SEC scheduling format that allowed the Bulldogs to also avoid Louisiana State and Texas A&M.
However, Georgia can be criticized for its nonconference schedule of Buffalo, Florida Atlantic and Georgia Southern (from the Football Championship Subdivision) to go with the annual Georgia Tech rivalry game.
Fun was had at USC's expense when this week's AP poll revealed the Trojans to be ranked No. 6 in their own seven-team state, yet you could just as easily imagine USC and Georgia swapping records if they swapped schedules.
SEC fans don't like this kind of number crunching because it peels back a layer of the league's seemingly impenetrable shield.
The record of Georgia's eight SEC opponents this year is a cumulative 24-40, and the record of the Bulldogs' three Football Bowl Subdivision nonconference foes is 13-22. Georgia Southern was an FCS opponent. The five SEC teams Georgia didn't play this year are a combined 25-15.
Georgia lost its only game against a ranked opponent by 28 points at South Carolina. USC lost five games by 40 points, four of them to current BCS Nos. 1, 5, 8 and 16. The Trojans' other defeat was by three points at Arizona. USC also was in every game into the fourth quarter.
It is fair — and probably accurate — to suggest poor coaching was a key factor in the Trojans' losing so many close games. It's also fair to suggest USC had the championship talent preseason voters thought it had.
Johnny Manziel speaks
Texas A&M lifted the season-long media embargo on redshirt freshman Johnny Manziel, just in time for the quarterback to probably win the Heisman Trophy on a network (ESPN) heavily invested in seeing Manziel's lips move.
Here's what we learned this week about Johnny Football: He's bright, smart, funny, articulate and set to turn 20 on Dec. 6.
Still, college's control-freak coaching establishment chose not to let Manziel talk until Nov. 26.
"It's nice to be able to talk to y'all," Manziel said to reporters on a conference call after his release from Audio Attica.
Manziel has let his numbers do all the screaming: He has 4,600 total yards in 12 games, and in a league, the SEC, that was expected to dismember first-year member Texas A&M.
Manziel, who is a modest 6 feet 1 and 200 pounds, said he always made himself bigger when creating his profile for NCAA video games.
"Typically, I would have made him look like someone like Cam Newton," he said of the 2010 Heisman winner.
Manziel called his season, "incredibly, incredibly surreal. It's beyond my wildest imagination."
MAC attack
The Pac-12 Conference title game can't catch a Friday night break: Last year's inaugural game was marred by the fact that South "champion" UCLA didn't deserve to be in it. The Bruins proved it by losing to Oregon and finishing 6-8 after their bowl loss.
This year's UCLA-Stanford matchup is substantially better, aesthetically, but is being challenged by a Mid-American Conference title game featuring Kent State (11-1) and Northern Illinois (11-1). Because of the Big East's implosion, Kent State can suddenly earn an automatic BCS bid if it finishes in the top 16 in the final BCS standings.
The Golden Flashes are No. 17, one spot behind UCLA. Kent State needs to win the MAC, and its followers are also cheering for Stanford to win the Pac-12. Kent State is seeking to become the first MAC team to earn a BCS bid in a season in which it lost to Kentucky by 33 points.
USC and Notre Dame prove that football rankings can be wacky business
Fighting Irish started the season unranked in the Associated Press media poll and the Trojans were No. 1. Notre Dame is now at the top and will play for a national title, and USC stumbled.

So I couldn't wait for ICS and now that I have had it for a couple of months my phone is giving me a lot of trouble. Lately it becomes unresponsive and takes it what seems like five minutes to actually call someone. If I had an emergency it would not be good. Now it keeps restarting
Itself in the middle of doing things like texting or in the middle of whatever I am doing.
I tried clearing the cache but it started to do it again. What should i do?
Do i need to do a hard reset? If so, please explain the process. This has a mind of its own now...

I have an usual scheduling issue that I run into every Friday. I am a full-time student, and every Friday and Saturday night I work at a bar. The problem I run into is that on Friday I wake up at 8am for a full day of classes, then I work from 7pm until around 3am. I'm not sure what to do about the spacing of my 6 meals. I can't just stop eating around 7-8pm; I am on my feet running around all night and need to eat at least one meal late into the night to keep me going.
Any suggestions on how to space my meals throughout the day in order to keep my energy up, and not allow myself to get super hungry?
FYI: I work out at 10:30am on Fridays.
Thanks so much!
Claire-Do you have any sort of break in the evening where you could drink a quick shake? Maybe have your bigger dinner around 6ish then the shake around 10 or so?? Or maybe even a protein bar. I use the Pure Protein brand, 20g protein and 15g carbs.
Hope this helps and good luck!! =)
DebMO :0) Blessed to be a Blessing...
Maybe have 7 smaller meals spaced out on your long days.
Want it. Plan it. Do it.
DebbieMO - It is no problem for me to eat while I'm at work, and in fact a protein shake or bar would be ideal. The 6pm, 10pm meal times also sound like something I could probably live with. Thanks!
Saralynn - Am i ALLOWED to do that? If I'm being honest, my preference would probably be to have 7 meals that day instead of 6. I am concerned with being really hungry, which is defintely a trigger for me to cheat.
I guess my issue is, I'm so concerned with doing everything EXACTLY by the book, that when I encountered this situation I wasn't sure how to handle it. My problem solving skills seem to have gone out the window as I'm faced with deviating from the BFL commandments in any way. LOL!
Thanks for the advice ladies :)
I don't see why it wouldn't work for you once a week for a long day. Remember that this is Body-for-Claire's-Life. I wouldn't add a complete meal, but rather spread what you would ordinarily eat in a day over seven meals rather than six.

Every month, Americans throw out about 40 percent of the food they buy, wasting $2,275 per year. Fruits, vegetables and dairy products go bad quickly, but one of the things most likely to end up in the trash is moldy bread.
Related: 5 Clever Ways Not to Waste Food
The fungus that causes sour-smelling bread mold is Rhizopus stolonifer, and it grows best in warm, damp environments -- like under the wrapper of that sliced sandwich loaf you left on the counter. But a Texas-based company called MicroZap has come up with a simple way to make bread stay fresh and mold-free for as long as 60 days, reducing the chances of it ending up in the trash.
Related: Can Spoiled Food Be Safe to Eat?
MicroZap's technique is exactly what the company's name implies: They've found a way to zap bread with a special microwave-like device, killing mold spores. It takes about 10 seconds, and the bread stays mold-free for about two months.
"We treated bread in the device, and after 60 days, it had the same mold content as fresh bread coming out of the package," Mircrozap CEO and Director Don Stull told Yahoo! Shine recently. It had a slightly different water content after being zapped, "but it was not noticeable on any taste tests that we did."
The change in water content "may have had to do with the fact that the taste test was 60 days later," he added.
Right now, many big commercial bakeries rely on preservatives and additives to keep mold at bay. "Preservatives to extend shelf life, and additives to mask the taste of the preservatives," Stull said. Still, unrefrigerated bread usually starts to get moldy in 10 days or less.
MicroZap's technology was originally designed to kill bacteria like salmonella and MRSA, and can also treat most meats and vegetables to keep them fresh longer. But though it has a lot in common with run-of-the-mill home microwave ovens, you can't just nuke a couple of slices in your kitchen and call it good.
"Our machine uses the exact same magnetron frequencies that's in your home microwave -- 2.45 gigahertz," he said. "We penetrate the chamber in multiple different ways and with multiple different sources, which allows us to get a uniform signal." In other words: No hot or cold spots, and they can control the zap so that they don't accidentally cook, heat up, or dry out the product. (A home version of their device is in the works and would cost about $100 more than a regular microwave oven, Stull told the Associated Press.)
Even though people tend to associate a super-long shelf-life with fake food (like Twinkies), there's no question that mold-free bread and bacteria-free fruit is appealing. MicroZap's technology could be a huge benefit in developing countries where food availability is scarce and safety standards nearly non-existent. "It could help us provide an abundant food source for those in need," Mindy Brashear, director of Texas Tech University's Center for Food Industry Excellence, told the Associated Press. And MicroZap could make plenty of other products safer as well.
"Salmonella is unfortunately fairly ubiquitous in the pet food industry," Stull told Yahoo! Shine. "People really love their pets, so we've done a lot of work with pet food and pet treats."
But even once we can control mold, there's still a chance that the pre-zapped bread could end up in the trash.
"There would certainly be some questions that I would have around the texture of the bread holding for 60 days," Brian Strouts, head of experimental baking for the Manhattan, Kansas-based nonprofit American Institute of Baking, told the Associated Press. Bread could still get stale, crumbly, or rancid. A quick zap "would not be the answer to all the problems with baked goods," he added.

Fall 2011
Updates and Reminders
Are You Getting the Best Deal?
Are you paying (or about to begin paying) a monthly fee for your checking account or higher costs for certain services, such as debit card transactions? FDIC Consumer News wants to remind readers that there are ways to limit or avoid checking account fees.
Start by asking your bank about other accounts that may waive certain fees if, for example, you keep a minimum balance or use direct deposit. Also, shop around for better deals. Learn more about how to keep costs down in a special edition of FDIC Consumer News (the Spring 2011 issue) entitled "Shop and Save...at the Bank" (www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/news/cnspr11).
Should You Refinance?
Homeowners who are considering refinancing their mortgage loan at historically low interest rates are reminded to make sure that doing so will save them enough money to justify the costs of a new loan. For guidance, see our article on mortgages in the Spring 2011 FDIC Consumer News (www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/news/cnspr11/mortgages.html).
Also, for those of you with an existing mortgage that was sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac on or before May 31, 2009, the Obama Administration has unveiled changes to its Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) intended to enable more borrowers, especially those with a home that has decreased in value, to refinance into mortgages with a lower interest rate. To learn more, start at www.makinghomeaffordable.gov or call the Homeowner's HOPE Hotline at 1-888-995-4673.
New Help with Student Loans
The Obama Administration has announced that it will provide relief to an estimated 1.6 million borrowers who are struggling with student loan debt. Starting in 2012, eligible borrowers will be able to limit their monthly federal student loan payments to 10 percent of their discretionary income. The Administration's initiative also will enable borrowers to consolidate federal loans and reduce their interest rates under a special option available in January 2012. For more information, start at the U.S. Department of Education press release at http://go.usa.gov/X8k.
In addition, as a result of a 2008 law change, colleges receiving federal aid are now required to post on their Web sites a net-price calculator intended to give prospective students a better idea of the likely cost of attending that school. You can find the colleges with the highest and lowest net prices at http://collegecost.ed.gov.
Tax Time Cometh: Ways to Save
As you prepare to file your taxes, keep in mind some money-saving tips. Look into free tax help. Remember that direct deposit into your own bank account is the fastest, safest way to receive a tax refund; if you file your return electronically with the IRS and have your refund direct deposited, expect to receive that money within about 10 days. Also, consider allocating part of your refund to go directly into a savings account or to purchase a U.S. Savings Bond. The remainder can still be used to pay down high-interest debt.
For more information, see the Fall 2010 FDIC Consumer News (www.fdic.gov/consumers/consumer/news/cnfall10/happyreturns.html).

On Wednesday, July 13, 2011, VA conducted an Industry Forum regarding the Building Utilization Review and Repurposing (BURR) Initiative, a new effort in VA's fight to end homelessness among Veterans and their families. The Forum consisted of an overview of the BURR Initiative, background on VA's Enhanced-Use Lease (EUL) Program, a discussion of available funding sources, and a question and answer session.
Thank you for your interest in the BURR Industry Forum. This is the first step in the BURR roll out. Below you will find helpful information regarding the forum:
The Initiative will support VA's goal of ending Veteran homelessness by providing safe, affordable, cost effective and sustainable housing for Veterans on a priority basis. Under the BURR Initiative, VA will develop permanent housing opportunities for Veterans and their families, including homeless Veterans, Veterans at risk of homelessness, senior Veterans and disabled Veterans, at as many as 34 VA locations nationwide. Properties will be developed by non-profit and private sector developers through VA's EUL program, which allows VA to ground lease underutilized land and buildings to third parties for up to 75 years. Under the EUL program, VA retains land ownership and can determine and control its reuse.
Please contact email@example.com if you have any questions regarding this initiative.

"The Language of God" Book Club–Chapter 6
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
We've recently been looking at the evidence for an old earth and the long history and vibrancy of this view among evangelical Christians. Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "How are the ages of the Earth and universe calculated?" revised by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma.
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.
Humanity faces tremendous moral dilemmas today, and science has relevance to most of them. As followers of Christ, we understand that our lives are entrusted to us for a short time, and that we will give an account for the things we do.
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.
In today's video, Rev. Lincoln Harvey discusses our desire to "domesticate" the liveliness and abundance of God. Harvey notes that the Trinity highlights both the manyness and oneness of God, which can be hard to Christians to fully understand.
So, for Driscoll, the choice is a simple dichotomy: Scripture or science. Scripture is the highest court of authority in all matters, and the role of believing scientists is to affirm Scripture. To fail to do so is to "exchange the truths of Scripture for the truths of science".
In a recent interview with the Sirius XM radio show Centered, Karl Giberson sat down with host Don Belanus to discuss the book The Language of Science and Faith.

Did you know that breastfeeding portraits were a "thing"? Yeah, neither did I. But breastfeeding has been the subject of many paintings for hundreds of years. These images of mothers nursing their children are forever captured in paint strokes and pen marks, and now the paintings hang in castles, parlors and on museum walls all over the world - from India to Germany to France. Some of these portraits are intimate studies of a beautiful moment between mother and child, while others are more formal family portraits for the royals and the very rich.

Jacqui Fatka Published on: Oct 26, 2004 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Dynamics are promising for cattle producers after two recent announcements--Japan's agreement to move forward on opening trade and the duty placed on Canadian live hogs being shipped to the United States. However Chris Hurt, Purdue University Extension marketing specialist, notes that these "price positive" benefits will be offset somewhat by higher numbers of cattle on-feed.For the U.S.-Japanese agreement to re-open beef shipments, the details still have to be worked out. "In terms of market prices, 'the devil is in the details,'" he notes. "U.S. sources have been optimistic that beef could begin to flow in 'a few weeks.' Japanese sources, however, are suggesting 'maybe in the spring of 2005.' Regardless, Japan is a huge market. In 2003, Japan purchased 920 million pounds of beef, representing 36% of all U.S. beef exports. National Cattlemen's Beef Association Chief Economist Gregg Doud reminds that after Japan found it's first case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), the U.S. lost 40% of it's market share in Japan due. It took nearly 24 months to get back to 90% of Japan's pre-BSE level. "In addition, when Japan and the United States reach a final agreement, South Korea will most likely join in as well. In 2003, South Korea was the third largest buyer of U.S. beef, representing an additional 23% of beef exports."The unknown situation of Canada In regards to the decision involving Canadian live hog imports, Hurt says the duty approaches 15% of the value of the hogs and will have the impact of keeping more hogs in Canada for finishing and processing."This will tend to lower hog and cattle prices in Canada, but raise prices in the United States," says Hurt. "The longer-run impacts are less clear. If the duty stays in place, it may cause a shifting of finishing and processing of hogs to Canada."Adding to the mix of uncertainties for cattle prices is the question of when the border might be opened to Canadian live cattle and the specific terms and timing of such an agreement. There has been a general feeling in the marketplace that a restricted opening of the Canadian border would occur prior to the opening of exports to Japan. For now, the timing and details of each remain uncertain.Cattle on Feed report shows herd expansion Hurt says that a final piece of new information in the cattle market is the latest USDA quarterly Cattle on Feed report, which showed on-feed numbers to be higher than expected, up 3%. The number of steer calves on-feed was up 4%, but heifers on-feed were up only 1%. The number of cows and bulls on-feed were down 7%."The smaller number of females on-feed reflects a growing interest in herd expansion as more cows are being retained in the breeding herd and more heifers are being held for potential breeding," says Hurt.Placements were down only 4% and the number marketed in September was smaller than expected, down 11%. Placements of cattle weighing less than 800 pounds were down a surprising 11%, reflecting the limited number of young cattle available for feedlots.Prices could reach $90 level by year's end "What does this mixed set of events and numbers mean for beef supplies in the coming months?" Hurt asks. "While the announcement that the United States and Japan will open trade is initially positive, it is not likely to happen for several months as details are worked out. This leaves the immediate issue of higher-than-expected on-feed numbers. Added to larger numbers will be much heavier market weights due to low feed prices and abundant forage supplies."In October, cattle weights have been up over 4% and these heavy weights will continue into the winter, Hurt adds. As a result, beef supplies will be higher by 2 to 4% in the last quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2005."Finished cattle prices should move seasonally higher, however, and may approach the $90 level by the end of the year," he says. "Prices are expected to average in the higher $80s in the first quarter of 2005, but to peak in the late-March to early-April period in the low $90s. Prices are then expected to move seasonally lower into the summer, with averages in the low-to-mid $80s."But, he emphasizes, uncertainties continue to surround the trade issues. "The issue is not just when trade between the United States, Canada and Asia can be restored, but the terms of these potential agreements," he says. "Opening beef exports to Asia could enhance finished cattle prices by $5 per live hundredweight or more, while opening imports of live cattle from Canada, in the absence of opening exports to Asia, could depress prices by $2 or more," he says."Odds now seem to favor that mad cow disease issues will be resolved in the next six months. This would allow the establishment of a framework under which limited beef trading between the United States, Canada, and Asia can begin once again."

Chordeiles acutipennis (lesser nighthawk)
Lesser Nighthawks (Chordeiles acutipennis) sit on the ground of the chaparral hilltops and trill this toad-like trill on the summer nights around central Arizona. This one was at Peck's Lake [Arizona] May 20th, 1999. The sound is very hard to localize, since it is so low, quiet and "generic" (high-pitched sounds are much easier to find), and they are generally closer to you than they seem to be.

Now that the remnants of Hurricane Sandy are allowing some sun to occasionally peek through the cloudy skies, Keystone State hunters can get back to the task of salivating over big game season.
Turkey hunting in Pennsylvania began Oct. 27, but there hasn't been much opportunity to get out in the wake of the big storm that hit our area two days later. To make matters worse for local turkey hunters, it's a commute to find the main guest at Thanksgiving dinners because our local Wildlife Management Unit 5C is closed to fall turkey hunting.
No matter. Bear season opens statewide in the coming weeks. Archery bear season runs Monday, Nov. 12, through Friday, Nov. 16, before firearms season opens Saturday, Nov. 17, and runs Monday through Wednesday Nov. 19-21: there is no Sunday hunting in Pennsylvania. There are also extended dates for bear season. Check the 2012 Hunting & Trapping Digest for dates in the areas you plan to hunt.
According to Mark Ternent, a Pennsylvania Game Commission bear biologist, this could be a banner year for bear hunting for several reasons.
"The bear harvest is really driven by four factors," Ternent said, noting "the fall food conditions or the number of acorns out there, the number of bear hunters, the size of the population and the weather."
Ternent said more people bought bear licenses this year than last year, and the bear population is at an all-time high, satisfying two of the four factors. The acorn crop is above average, leaving only the weather as the main determining factor for the hunts.
Pennsylvania's black bear population is considered trophy-class. Last year, 88 bears that weighed more than 500 pounds were harvested, and more than half of them weighed 600 pounds or better. Since 1992, six bears with live weights estimated at 800 pounds or more have been harvested. Hunters should be cautioned that weight does not equal trophy. That is eventually determined by the size of the bear's skull after a drying period.
"Pennsylvania's bear population covers more than three-quarters of the state, and includes a number of world-class trophy bears," Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe said. "This has earned Pennsylvania recognition as one of the top states for bear hunters. Every year, we have a number of bears exceeding 500 pounds included in the harvest."
Ternent explained that because bears are hibernators, they are searching for food 18-20 hours a day before going into hibernation for the winter. It is illegal to kill a bear that is in its den.
Right now, bears are searching for as much high-calorie food as possible, so it's best to find acorn sources. Ternent recommends checking for bear scat and looking for claw marks on beech trees, which the bears climb to get the nuts.
He also suggested that still hunting or standing works best at dawn and dusk, and that driving the woods with other hunters during daylight often yields success. He said that even though the thickest parts of the forest may seem impassable, bears love them as habitat. Despite their size, bears are surprisingly quiet moving through the forest.
Locally in WMU 5C, as well suburban Philadelphia WMUs 5B and 5D, and the Pittsburgh area od 2B, extended bear season runs concurrent with firearms deer season Nov. 26 to Dec. 8 to reduce the bear-human conflict in the suburban areas of the most-populated regions in the state.
Hunters who harvest a bear during the four-day general season must take them to mandatory check stations within 24 hours. The closest one locally is the office at Beltzville State Park, but check the current Hunting & Trapping Digest for all the stations so you can find the one closest to where you harvested your bear.
Hours of operation during the four-day season will be 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 17; 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 18; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 19 and 20; and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 21. Hunters successful in archery season need to contact the PGC regional office that serves the county where the bear was harvested. Check station hours vary during the extended bear season, so consult the digest for hours and places.
Little Lehigh Trout Unlimited meeting: The newly restarted Little Lehigh chapter of Trout Unlimited kicked off with 19 people at its October meeting. The next meeting will take place at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Wildlands Conservancy, 3701 Orchid Place, Lower Macungie Township.
Featured speakers will include Nick Watters, Scott Alderfer on dam removal projects, and a presentation on Trout in the Classroom by Samantha Kutskel. The public is invited.
Sandy plays cruel trick on Jersey shore: Death and property damage aren't the only aftermath of Hurricane Sandy along the New Jersey coastline.
Mostly an afterthought, recreational and commercial fishing is under advisory during a time when striped bass are most active at the shore points. Because the storm knocked several water-treatment plants offline, effluents surged into New Jersey waterways along the Hudson, Passaic, Hackensack and Raritan rivers, as well as the Newark, Kill Van Kull, Arthur Kill, Raritan and Sandy Hook bays.
The New Jersey DEP is asking anglers not to consume any of the fish, crustaceans or shellfish from these waters because of possible viral or bacterial contamination.
Anglers who choose to fish these waters are asked to thoroughly wash, clean and disinfect all gear used while fishing those waterways. New Jersey's DEP wants all anglers, crabbers and votes to go online to the Hurricane Sandy webpage at http://www.nj.gov/dep/special/hurricane-sandy/ for updates on the advisory, and to go online to http://www.fishsmarteatsmartnj.com for current fish consumption advisories.

Our outdoor shades can give you a pleasantly cooled area for dining or play. Some open shade products provide shading but still allow a free flow of air and sunshine to enter that space. A pergola is a good example of an open shade product. Covered shade can be achieved by using canopies or building a gazebo for your outdoor living enjoyment. Most gazebos are very open, but they have drapes or curtains that can enclose the space as needed. Use a canopy or tent gazebo to provide shade over a patio dining set or other seating area. Many gazebos are permanent and include seating, but some are designed for temporary use and can be easily stored away. We have many stylish outdoor shade products available with modern to classic design themes, as well as lighted gazebos, party tents and solarium rooms.

Travel Grants FAQ
The APS Committee on the Status of Women in Physics (CSWP) is pleased to sponsor the Travel Grants for Women Speakers Program. This program is intended to increase the recognition of women physicists by expanding the opportunity for physics departments to invite women colloquium/seminar speakers. These presentations raise awareness of the accomplishments of women physicists, and the women speakers can serve as role models for women students and faculty.
What is the Travel Grants for Women Speakers Program?
The Travel Grants for Women Speakers Program provides a reimbursement of up to $500 to colleges and universities for the travel expenses of either of two women colloquium or seminar speakers these institutions host during a single academic year.
Who can apply for Travel Grants?
Eligibility extends to physics departments of American colleges and universities. Canadian and Mexican colleges and universities are also eligible, provided that at least one of the women they invite is currently affiliated with an American institution. Application should be made by host institutions, not by the speakers themselves.
What are the guidelines?
An institution must schedule the two women speakers during a single academic year to qualify. Both speakers must have presented their talks before the end of the academic year.
Which women physicists qualify as speakers under the Travel Grants for Women Speakers Program?
The CSWP maintains a Womens Speakers List, but qualifying speakers are not limited to this list. Neither of the two speakers may be faculty of the host institution. The speakers must currently be in the U.S.
What if the speaker we choose is already speaking this year in the program?
One of the main goals of this program is to encourage a large number of different women speakers. Therefore, institutions may be asked to select an alternate speaker if their first choice speaker is already giving several talks that year within the program.
What factors are considered in Travel Grant approval?
In case of oversubscription to the program, preference will be given to institutions with greater need, or to speakers who may reap greater benefits from the particular engagements. Funding for the Travel Grants for Women Speakers Program is limited, and institutions are encouraged to apply early in the academic year, even if the speakers are scheduled for the spring semester.
How does an institution apply for a Travel Grant?
The Travel Grants for Women Speakers Application Form must be submitted with the following information: the names of two invited women speakers (even if tentative), actual or projected dates of their presentations, and actual or estimated costs of the speaker.
What expenses qualify for reimbursement?
The expenses of only one of the two speakers is reimbursable, up to $500. The institution may choose to be reimbursed for either of the speakers. Reimbursement is for travel, lodging, and childcare expenses only. Honoraria or extraneous expenses at the colloquium itself, such as refreshments, are not reimbursable.
What documentation is required?
Institutions should not submit receipts until their Travel Grants for Women Speakers Application Form has been approved and the colloquium or seminar has been completed. Original receipts should accompany the APS Travel and Expense Report Form, which will be sent to all approved applicants. If original receipts are not available, copies should be submitted along with a short memo explaining that the university has already reimbursed the speaker and must retain the receipts. A mileage allowance applies to travel by car. A completed APS Travel and Expense Report Form is required for payment.
To whom is payment made?
Payment will be made to the host institution in reimbursement for payment to the speaker, or directly to the speaker. Please note that it takes approximately three weeks to process a reimbursement request.
When is payment made?
Payment will be made after both presentations have taken place, and documentation as listed above has been submitted.
What if we are approved for a grant and the speaker cancels?
If a speaker should cancel, please notify the APS immediately. We can provide assistance in finding a replacement speaker. If no replacement can be found, we can reassign your grant to an institution on our waiting list.

I have no real culinary training other than what one can gain from reading cookbooks like novels and spending thousands of hours playing in the kitchen. When you are self taught, sometimes there are basics that you somehow never really learn to do well. I find this is true of my culinary skill, gardening and quilting among other self taught loves. When I put my goal list together, I added quite a few goals that aimed to correct some of these gaps - either through practice or learning from the hands of people who know better than me.
|half butter and half leaf lard for a perfect dough
Pie crust is one of those basics that can be so simple yet so difficult. It consists of only a few simple ingredients: flour, fat, water. Yet ten cooks can read the same recipe and end up with different outcomes ranging from tender flaky layers to dense chunks of drywall. Its one of those things best learned from an expert.
|use the pie pan to measure out the fruit for the filling
Kate McDermott is this expert. Her pies have been featured on the cover of Saveur and Edible Seattle. Seattle Magazine named her Food Rock Star of the year. Ruth Reichl, the editor-in-chief of Gourmet Magazine, called baking pie with Kate a "liberating experience." Every Seattle blogger has blogged about her (so, I am about two years late to the party). Anytime anyone on twitter talks about pie they reference Kate. This is the person to learn pie from. I caught the Kate bug and she made it onto my goal list - number 48 - "learn to make pie from Kate McDermott."
|a heaping cup of sugar and a third cup of flour to thicken and sweeten the rhubarb
This last week I was lucky enough to be invited by Kate to drive out the peninsula and learn from her. I wasn't going to miss this opportunity and I squeezed my ninth month pregnant self behind the wheel and headed down to the ferry line.
Kate was all she had been cracked up to be - a pie expert with a warm personality and cold hands (all the better for flaky dough). Being comfortable in the kitchen, and able to make a perfectly acceptable pie already, I wanted to learn more than I could from a good recipe - and I did. She showed me all the secrets that no written recipe could have taught and a few that are easier to pass on (use "leaf lard" instead of shortening). I had been making my dough too wet and my filling without enough thickener. I learned to work the fat into the flour until it looks like "peas...and almonds and a few walnuts," to not be afraid to use my hands and to stop before I think I am done.
|The beautiful Kate and swollen pregnant Lara
Before the week was done I had already tried my hand at another pie to see if my talents would translate out of her kitchen and into mine. My guests raved about my strawberry rhubarb pie and I even impressed myself. No gift is more valuable than a newly learned skill. Follow this link for a tutorial from Kate herself. Thank you Kate!

We laptop owners can easily run out of storage space since most 2.5″ drives are still relatively small in capacity. Other than paying notebook vendors for over-priced hard drives to keep our warranty and then spending a beautiful weekend afternoon on drive cloning, there is a simpler and time-saving way to expand storage without breaking the bank. This is where OCZ Slate SSD comes in. The USB-based Slate is basically like any other flash drives except it is housed in an ExpressCard. The design allows the storage card to fit snugly inside the ExpressCard slot without the risk of it breaking off. On the opposite side of the ExpressCard connector is a mini USB 2.0 port which can be used for hooking up with desktop PCs or older laptops.The Slate performance is decent with read speed topping at 30MB/s and write speed hovering between 15 and 17MB/s. The card doesn't have a native PCI Express interface so USB 2.0 will always remain the bandwidth bottleneck for this product. Everything USB discovered the Slate to be particularly useful for storing music, video & photos as you can easily relocate them to the card and Slate's speeds can easily handle even multiple 1080p HD playback. Overall, if you've an unused ExpressCard slot on your notebook, and don't plan on getting a 3G wireless modem card, the Slate is something you should check out as an effortless storage option.

U.S. Women's Olympic Soccer Team Two Days Away From Opening Match
Aug 9, 2004
U.S. Women's National Team
Notes from Heraklion, Greece on the island of Crete
COUNTDOWN BEGINS: The U.S. Women's Olympic Soccer Team is a little more than 48 hours from its first match of the 2004 Olympics against Greece on Wednesday, Aug. 11, at Pankritio Stadium (6 p.m. local / 11 a.m. ET Live on MSNBC) and the U.S. team is primed and anxious to play. This will mark the first-ever match between the USA and Greece in women's soccer, and it will be a historic meeting, not only as it opens the Olympic soccer competition, but also the Olympics themselves, with four women's soccer matches starting at the same time to open the 2004 Summer Games. With just 10 teams in the tournament, the opening games will feature several great matches, led by the Germany vs. China clash of two potential gold medallists, as well as 2003 Women's World Cup runner-up Sweden vs. Japan, which recently tied the USA, 1-1. Following are the four women's matches in four different cities that literally "kick-off" the Olympics:
Date Match No. Group Teams Venue Kickoff Time
Aug. 11 1 G Greece vs. USA Heraklio 6 p.m. local / 11 a.m. ET
Aug. 11 2 F Germany v China Patra 6 p.m. local / 11 a.m. ET
Aug. 11 3 G Brazil v Australia Thessaloniki 6 p.m. local / 11 a.m. ET
Aug. 11 4 E Sweden v Japan Volos 6 p.m. local / 11 a.m. ET
NO COMPLAINTS IN CRETE: The U.S. team got the day off from training on Sunday (Aug. 8) after 11 consecutive days of training or travel. The U.S. team used the day to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Heraklion at their beach resort hotel which is on the water's edge overlooking the sparkling Sea of Crete, with a picturesque rocky coast butting up against translucent blue water. But despite the gorgeous surroundings and weather, the U.S. team has been disciplined in staying out of the sun, allowing themselves just an hour per day by the pool or the beach (with several players floating peacefully out into the bay on small rafts). They've spent the rest of their down time going on short walks into the local village, watching movies on their DVD players, listing to music, reading, or the ever-popular napping. The U.S. team has also been diligent about hydrating in the blistering heat - with highs reaching into the high 80s each day - by gulping down gallons of water and sports drinks. The U.S. team could not have asked for a better environment to relax and focus for the tournament.
ONE MORE TRAINING 'TILL GREECE: The U.S. team trained on Saturday morning at VAK Field and once again it was crisp, but intense, as the jet lag begins to leave the players legs and the first match of the Olympics looms. The U.S. team trained on Monday morning at OFI Stadium, an odd facility that is squeezed among apartment buildings and shops in the Kamina neighborhood, with the top of a beautiful church visible behind the stands on one end. The small stadium is situated as such that residents with third floor apartments would get free season tickets along with their rent, as their views of the field are even better than those in left field at Wrigley in Chicago. The USA will train once more on Tuesday evening, getting in their stadium training at Pankritio, before the much-anticipated opening game on Wednesday at the 27,000-seat stadium. The U.S. match will be followed by a men's game features Tunisia and Australia.
"WHAT ARE THE OLYMPICS?": U.S. players Lindsay Tarpley and Heather O'Reilly have been working hard all year to try to keep up in school after taking a semester off from college at North Carolina to train during the Olympic Residency Camp in Los Angeles. The pair have taken several Internet classes to earn credits. Tarpley will be a junior and O'Reilly will be a sophomore in the fall, and both will jump right back into school and their college seasons following the Olympics, missing only a few days of classes, but the mild-mannered Midwesterner Tarpley reached the end of her rope this week in regards to one class on her schedule. Both Tarpley and O'Reilly have had some extremely cooperative professors as they have chased their Olympic dreams, but this week Tarpley received an email from a professor for one of her fall classes that said, in part: "What exactly are the Olympics? Why is it more important than attending my class?" Tarpley quickly emailed her academic advisor asking them "to please get me out of that class."
"IT'S CHINESE TO US": While U.S. forward Cindy Parlow was shipping some items home from the Athletes' Village in Athens, one of the workers at the Village post office gave her some instructions to read…in Greek. "This is all Greek to me," said Parlow. The woman bust out laughing and said, "Do you really say that? We have that saying, but we say, 'That's all Chinese to us!'"
U.S. GETS HOPE: The USA's alternate goalkeeper, former Philadelphia Charge player Hope Solo, arrived in camp in Heraklion on Saturday and will train with the U.S. team up until the first match. Solo will be in Athens for the entire tournament on call if the U.S. team should need her. Solo is playing professionally in Sweden with the Kopparbergs/Goteborg club in Gothenburg and the 23-year-old University of Washington All-American has received sparking reviews for her play, with the media tabbing her as one of the top goalkeepers in the Swedish First Division. Solo, whose father is of Italian heritage, came straight to Crete from a short vacation in Italy (after finishing the first half of the Swedish season which is breaking for the Olympics), and should get a chance attend some Olympic events in Athens.
EASY RIDERS: U.S. head coach April Heinrichs and assistant coach Greg Ryan went on an afternoon excursion on their Sunday off, renting motorized dirt bikes and cruising around the mountain trails of Heraklion, down to the coast where they parked, and, yes, jumped off a cliff into the ocean. Asked how high the cliff was, Heinrichs replied, "High enough that you didn't just jump right off. You had to think about it." Both took the plunge several times.
U.S. midfielder Lindsay Tarpley on the USA's preparation so far:
"It has been an unbelievable experience, especially for a young player who is new to all of this. I feel very fortunate that I have the chance to be here. We've been training so long and hard for this, and now that it is finally here, we feel prepared for it and I think the team is very focused. But along the way, we are definitely going to make sure to enjoy the experience."
U.S. midfielder Kristine Lilly on the team's preparation for Greece and how the host team will be big underdogs:
"I know the coaches have been scouting them and watching game tapes, so we'll have time to go over that, but as players you go into every game respecting the opponent and worry about what we need to do to be successful. We'll know some key points about their team, but we will focus on what we need to do and we always respect every team we play as that's part of why we have been successful."
Lilly on being in Crete:
"There is not a whole lot going on around you except for the beautiful water. You can focus now, do things as a team and concentrate on what you need to do to win."
Lilly on the unique Olympic tournament format of 10 teams:
"For the last Olympics it was eight teams, so now we moved up to 10 and you have to look at it as women's soccer growing and that's a positive thing. And I think in the next Olympics, they will go to 12 teams and three groups of four. I think the goal of FIFA is to keep increasing the competing teams like on the men's side and that's great for the women's game. As far as our team, whether we play two or three games in the first round, we just look at it as another goal we have to accomplish. We play Greece first and that is our focus."
U.S. head coach April Heinrichs on being encamped in Crete:
"Our athletes really enjoyed being in the Olympic village and took in every aspect they could in 48 hours. But at the same time, they appreciate soccer being an outlying venue sport, as it was in 1996 and 2000. You get out of the hustle bustle of the village and get to focus a little bit."
Heinrichs on the impending clash with Greece:
"I've seen them play maybe four times now, so I feel I have a good sense of what they are about. We will meet as a team for a scouting report as we always do. We'll approach the game as we always do, with a tremendous focus that starts the night before the game. We'll talk a little bit about their system, their style and their personalities, and the players we need to be mindful of. That will last about 45 minutes, and from that point on, the focus is really on the Untied States and what do we need to do to beat Greece and start of this tournament with three points and momentum."
Heinrichs on the day off:
"We have been traveling or training for 11 straight days. We knew we needed to train hard in the first part of our training here, but we are tapering into the game. I can tell in the way the players are striking the ball in training that they are feeling good."

1971 Chevy Camaro RS Hood Insulation
- Replacement Hood Insulation
- Fits Cars With Standard Hood
- Includes Functional Clip Set
Ecklers Camaro's understands your 1970-1981 Camaro hood insulation serves a very critical safety purpose. It's not there to merely offer sound suppression from your engine or to protect your paint from heat. Your hood insulation is there to offer you some protection in case of an engine fire.

Running a car without Camaro hood insulation can be a critical safety error that no one should make. Our affordable hood insulations are carefully sourced from quality manufacturers and made from modern asbestos free materials. Enjoy your classic 1970, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981 Camaro safely with quality replacement hood insulations from Ecklers Camaro.

Galati's Perfect Game Sends Hofstra to the Title Game of the CAA Softball Championship
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (May 9, 2013) – Senior pitcher Olivia Galati tossed her NCAA-record fifth career perfect game as top-seeded Hofstra advanced to the title game of the CAA Softball Championship with an 8-0 victory over second-seeded James Madison Thursday at the Hofstra Softball Stadium.
Hofstra (42-11) advanced to tomorrow's Noon championship game where it will be looking to capture its 10th CAA championship. JMU (40-14) returns to action at 7:30 p.m. tonight to face the winner of this evening's elimination game between third-seeded Delaware and fourth-seeded Towson.
Galati (36-10), the 2013 CAA Pitcher of the Year, struck out 10 batters while throwing only 62 pitches (50 for strikes). It was the first perfect game in CAA Tournament history and the second no-hitter, which Galati also tossed in 2010. JMU sophomore pitcher Heather Kiefer (14-7) took the loss after allowing five runs off five hits and walking three in 3.0 innings.
Senior outfielder Tessa Ziemba paced the Pride offense with three hits, including a two-run home run and three RBI. Galati also helped her own cause at the plate finishing 2-for-3 with an RBI. Senior infielder Jess Hirschbuhl and freshman outfielder Caryn Bailey each recorded a hit and an RBI for the Pride.
Hofstra was first on the scoreboard in the bottom of the third with a Ziemba RBI single that scored Galati, who opened the inning with a leadoff single. Galati recorded her second hit of the game in the bottom of the fourth with an RBI single that scored Baily and senior infielder Becca Bigler to push the Pride lead to 3-0.
Galati scored the fourth run for the Pride later in the inning off a wild pitch from sophomore pitcher Miranda Kemp. However, the big blow in the inning would come from Ziemba who smashed a two-run homer over the left centerfield wall to push the Pride lead to 6-0 heading to the fifth inning.
The Pride added another insurance run in the bottom of the fifth from a Bailey RBI triple that scored Bigler to stretch the lead to 7-0. Hirschbuhl ended the game in the bottom of the sixth with an RBI single.
All games throughout the championship will be video-streamed live on CAA.TV for FREE. The streams will also be simulcast on a combination of CSNWashington.com, CSNBaltimore.com and CSNPhilly.com. Live stats will also be available on CAASports.com on CAA Softball Championship Central.
